OLIMEX Summer of Hacking – 3D printing group first print with DIY Prusa i3

This is the 3D printing group from OLIMEX Summer of Hacking initiative.

Their job was to assembly Prusa i3 3D printer kit and to learn how to use it. It took them a week to complete the printer.

It still is a bit bulky but everything functioning correctly!

Today was the day to test it:

The first printed object was Mr. Pacman:

It worked very well for first attempt! Now is time for calibration and some in deepth experiments with the temperatures, speed of printing and other parameters!

Well done boys!

Using Bees for 3D printing

 

Everybody now knows for the 3D printing revolution. Its a great way to experiment and do new stuff, you print your plastic parts. Mr Dewards decided to try something else, he is using his 80 000 bees to print 3D objects from bee vax.
